Your questions about shower tray repair in Badby

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Landlord and trade work in Badby

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Badby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Badby?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Badby, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

  • Enamelled steel
