Common questions in East Hendred

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Shower tray repair at your home in East Hendred

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When to call us in East Hendred

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Hendred

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Hendred as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
