Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Stanton by Bridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Stanton by Bridge

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Stanton by Bridge customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
