DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we handle shower tray repair in Lydbrook

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface, in stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lydbrook and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Lydbrook: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Lydbrook?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lydbrook?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Lydbrook

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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