Trusted shower tray repair in Amber Hill

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Make sure the room can be ventilated
Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about shower tray repair in Amber Hill

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Common problems we fix in Amber Hill

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Amber Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Amber Hill

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

How easy the damage is to reach
What kind of damage it is
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Amber Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

The material, if you know it
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
One sharp close-up of the damage
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Amber Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Amber Hill?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 booking.
