Shower tray repair at your home in Basford

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and a cracked shower tray, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Basford

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

What affects the price in Basford

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

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