How we handle shower tray repair in Bassett

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Bassett

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

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

When to call us in Bassett

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Bassett

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What do you need from me?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace in Bassett?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Bassett customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
