Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Shower tray repair in Puttenham without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Puttenham

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Puttenham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Puttenham: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Puttenham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
