Common questions in Hay Mills

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Hay Mills?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

About our shower tray repair in Hay Mills

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

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

How it 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 we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Hay Mills
