FAQs for Jacob's Post
Do I need to be at home?

How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Jacob's Post
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Jacob's Post
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
