Shower tray repair near Bassett Green

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

About our shower tray repair in Bassett Green

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Bassett Green

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Bassett Green

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
