Shower tray repair in Almshouse Green

Shower tray repair in Almshouse Green without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Almshouse Green questions

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What affects the price in Almshouse Green

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

Repair or replace in Almshouse Green?

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Almshouse Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
