What affects the price in Ogston

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Ogston

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Ogston

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ogston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Ogston: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you come to Ogston?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ogston and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

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

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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