Common questions in Tollesby

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tollesby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlord and trade work in Tollesby

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 work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we’re called out for in Tollesby

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Tollesby

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tollesby. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
