Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Creeksea

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Creeksea?

We do. Technicians travel to Creeksea from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Creeksea customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Creeksea. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Most clients in Creeksea get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Creeksea

If you manage property in Creeksea, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
