Shower tray repair for Bingham homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bingham

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

About our shower tray repair in Bingham

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Common questions in Bingham

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

What happens next?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
