Questions from Banningham

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

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

Landlord and trade work in Banningham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we are called out for in Banningham

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
