DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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

Common questions in Sapperton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Sapperton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sapperton and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Sapperton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
