Book shower tray repair in Botcheston

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

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

Shower tray repair in Botcheston without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Botcheston

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Botcheston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Botcheston

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need shower tray repair in Botcheston?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

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