FAQs for Rowrah

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How we handle shower tray repair in Rowrah

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Rowrah

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rowrah. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

If you are in Rowrah and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

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