FAQs for Mochrum

What happens next?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Mochrum

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mochrum. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Mochrum

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
