Kirkhamgate questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Are there extra charges for Kirkhamgate?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkhamgate

If you manage property in Kirkhamgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkhamgate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Kirkhamgate

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we are called out for in Kirkhamgate

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures 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.
