FAQs for Stagsden

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Stagsden and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Stagsden?

We do. Technicians travel to Stagsden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stagsden. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
