Athelney: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Athelney. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Shower tray repair in Athelney, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Athelney?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Athelney. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need shower tray repair in Athelney?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
