Common questions in West Farleigh

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How do I book?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in West Farleigh?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common problems we fix in West Farleigh

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in West Farleigh get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
