Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Benton, done in place

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. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlord and trade work in Benton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Benton

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you cover Benton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Benton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
