Wolsingham: your questions answered

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wolsingham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What affects the price in Wolsingham

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wolsingham. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wolsingham

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
