Shower tray repair in Austerlands, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Austerlands and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Austerlands

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Austerlands?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Austerlands. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Austerlands?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What affects the price in Austerlands

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
