About our shower tray repair in Horkstow

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lincolnshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlord and trade work in Horkstow

For anyone letting property in or around Horkstow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Horkstow questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Horkstow?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Horkstow. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Horkstow

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What affects the price in Horkstow

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Horkstow

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
