Your questions about shower tray repair in Barton Gate

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Barton Gate and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Barton Gate?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Barton Gate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, 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 from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barton Gate

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Barton Gate?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
