Shower tray repair at your home in Aldeby

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Aldeby

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Aldeby

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Aldeby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
