What else we do in Whittlesford
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Whittlesford
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
Take a look at our full price list.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
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.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Whittlesford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
