Shower tray repair in Alicehead without replacing anything

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Alicehead
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Do you need shower tray repair in Alicehead?

- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
