What affects the price in Waterloo

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Waterloo

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterloo

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
