Shower tray repair in Boardy Green without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boardy Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Boardy Green. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Boardy Green

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repair or replace in Boardy Green?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we are called out for in Boardy Green

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
