About our shower tray repair in Abbotsford

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Abbotsford

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RH15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Abbotsford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
