Drinkstone Green questions

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Drinkstone Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

What affects the price in Drinkstone Green

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drinkstone Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
