FAQs for High Risby

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.

Common problems we fix in High Risby

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for High Risby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to High Risby. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
