FAQs for Hurst Wickham

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

Everywhere in the UK, Hurst Wickham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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

What we’re called out for in Hurst Wickham

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hurst Wickham. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Hurst Wickham

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
