Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

What affects the price in Over Knutsford

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Over Knutsford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common problems we fix in Over Knutsford

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
