About our shower tray repair in Arlingham

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a damaged area around the waste.

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When to call us in Arlingham

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Look out for these signs:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Arlingham, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arlingham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Arlingham

When can you do it?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you work in Arlingham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Arlingham and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
