Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our shower tray repair in Adber

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Adber

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.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Adber?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Adber

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Adber and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace in Adber?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

What we’re called out for in Adber

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
