Shower tray repair in Albury

How we handle shower tray repair in Albury

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and a crack across the base.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Albury

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Albury. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Albury, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Albury: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for Albury?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
