Shower tray repair in Battledown

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we handle shower tray repair in Battledown

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Battledown

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Battledown. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste

Choosing a repair company

Battledown questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Battledown?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace in Battledown?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
