Landlord and trade work in Ringshall

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Ringshall

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ringshall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Ringshall

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Ringshall: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What information do you need?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Ringshall?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
