Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we are called out for in Saighton

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

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

FAQs for Saighton

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Saighton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Saighton and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairing versus replacing in Saighton

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Saighton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually 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. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Most customers in Saighton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
