Shower tray repair in Alderton, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Alderton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Alderton

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What affects the price in Alderton

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Alderton. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Alderton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
