Common questions in Ermington

Do you work in Ermington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ermington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ermington?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in Ermington

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
