Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Forhill

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What affects the price in Forhill

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Forhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Forhill

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

Common questions in Forhill

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
