Questions from Pipsden

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Pipsden?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pipsden. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the whole UK, including Pipsden and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Pipsden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need shower tray repair in Pipsden?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pipsden. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
