Need shower tray repair in Backnoe End?

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Landlord and trade work in Backnoe End

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backnoe End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Backnoe End

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
