FAQs for Whitchurch

When can you do it?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
