Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sandford. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Sandford
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Common reasons people in Sandford contact us include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What your shower tray is made of matters
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 feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
