FAQs for Iden

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairing versus replacing in Iden

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Iden

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Iden. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Stone resin

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Iden?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Iden contact us are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
