FAQs for Thornham Parva

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What affects the price in Thornham Parva

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thornham Parva. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thornham Parva, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornham Parva

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

You do not 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
