What affects the price in Little Musgrave

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Little Musgrave get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our shower tray repair in Little Musgrave

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Little Musgrave

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Little Musgrave

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Common reasons people in Little Musgrave contact us are:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Little Musgrave

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Are there extra charges for Little Musgrave?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repair or replace in Little Musgrave?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
