Ilton questions

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ilton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Shower tray repair in Ilton without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Ilton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ilton

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
