Shower tray repair at your home in Apuldram

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Apuldram

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Apuldram

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

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 are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Apuldram

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Apuldram

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Apuldram

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
