Shower tray repair for Barrow Gurney homes

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Shower tray repair in Barrow Gurney without replacing anything

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 will explain what we find. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barrow Gurney

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Barrow Gurney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Barrow Gurney

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS48 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
