Shower tray repair for Abbot's Meads homes

FAQs for Abbot's Meads

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Abbot's Meads is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

When to call us in Abbot's Meads

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

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

  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What affects the price in Abbot's Meads

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Abbot's Meads get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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