Painter's Forstal: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Painter's Forstal. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Painter's Forstal

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairing versus replacing in Painter's Forstal

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
