Shower tray repair in Bitteswell

Landlord and trade work in Bitteswell

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Shower tray repair in Bitteswell without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Bitteswell

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Bitteswell?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Bitteswell and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Bitteswell

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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