Common questions in Ridgmont

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Are there extra charges for Ridgmont?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ridgmont.

How we handle shower tray repair in Ridgmont

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Ridgmont

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Ridgmont, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Ridgmont

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Ridgmont

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Ridgmont

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
