Repairing versus replacing in Oldfurnace

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area

FAQs for Oldfurnace

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover Oldfurnace?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Oldfurnace from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Oldfurnace

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
