DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Purewell

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Purewell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Purewell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Purewell

If you manage property in Purewell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Questions from Purewell

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Purewell?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What we’re called out for in Purewell

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
