Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

What affects the price in Little Laver

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Little Laver

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you cover Little Laver?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Little Laver. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we’re called out for in Little Laver

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
