Questions from Riber

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Riber?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Riber for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Riber?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How we handle shower tray repair in Riber

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Riber and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Riber

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Riber as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What affects the price in Riber

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
