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. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave 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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Sketchley

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover Sketchley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sketchley and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Sketchley and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Sketchley

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • We leave the room as we found it

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sketchley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sketchley. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Sketchley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Sketchley

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
