About our shower tray repair in Aldworth

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Aldworth

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. 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 the repair is polished to match the shine.

FAQs for Aldworth

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Repair or replace in Aldworth?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
