Signs you need shower tray repair in Edgcott

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Edgcott

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What affects the price in Edgcott

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
