How we handle shower tray repair in Ammerham

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, in ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Ammerham

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for Ammerham

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Landlord and trade work in Ammerham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ammerham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
