Trusted shower tray repair in Astley

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

About our shower tray repair in Astley

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Astley and across Shropshire.

FAQs for Astley

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What we are called out for in Astley

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Astley

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Astley

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
