How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Old Tebay

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Old Tebay

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

FAQs for Old Tebay

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When can you do it?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Old Tebay?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Old Tebay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Tebay

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Old Tebay clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
