Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we are called out for in Denford

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Denford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Denford

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Denford.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
