What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

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 it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Allercombe

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Allercombe?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Allercombe

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Allercombe

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Allercombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need shower tray repair in Allercombe?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
