Mitcheldean: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are there extra charges for Mitcheldean?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Mitcheldean?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mitcheldean for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Mitcheldean

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mitcheldean

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Mitcheldean

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Mitcheldean, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
