Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birdham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Birdham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
