Honest limits

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • 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

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When to call us in Snibston

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Snibston

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Snibston. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Snibston questions

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
