Shower tray repair at your home in Borden

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right.

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

Questions from Borden

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What information do you need?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Borden

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repair or replace in Borden?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
