Repair or replace in Fyfield?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Fyfield: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Fyfield?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Fyfield. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

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

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Fyfield

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fyfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 usually cheaper.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
