Shower tray repair at your home in Astwick

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Astwick

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Astwick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Astwick. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Astwick

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Astwick: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SG5 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work in Astwick?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Astwick. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
