Shower tray repair near Beggar Hill

Shower tray repair at your home in Beggar Hill

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Beggar Hill

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Beggar Hill questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Beggar Hill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Beggar Hill?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What affects the price in Beggar Hill

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Beggar Hill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
