Shower tray repair near Barton

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Barton

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and scratches in the surface.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Barton questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Barton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

Common problems we fix in Barton

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
