Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlord and trade work in Flempton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Advice

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Flempton

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Flempton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
