Etchingham: your questions answered

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Etchingham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Etchingham and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Shower tray repair in Etchingham, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

What we’re called out for in Etchingham

How to compare quotes

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

You don’t 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Etchingham?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Etchingham. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
