What affects the price in Ulceby

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ulceby. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ulceby

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Ulceby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Questions from Ulceby

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you come to Ulceby?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ulceby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Different materials, different repairs

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 trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Ulceby

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
