Shower tray repair for Arle homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Shower tray repair in Arle without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims, in ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Arle

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

The process

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 normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

How much does shower tray repair cost in Arle?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arle

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
