DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Laughton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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 normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What affects the price in Laughton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically 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

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Laughton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Laughton

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Laughton.

Are you accredited?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Laughton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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