Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

When to call us in Utkinton

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Utkinton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Utkinton: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

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