Romannobridge questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Romannobridge

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Romannobridge

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Repairing versus replacing in Romannobridge

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What affects the price in Romannobridge

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
