How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE45 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

About our shower tray repair in Alport

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Alport?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Alport?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
