Shower tray repair in Bowling

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bowling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowling as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Bowling, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Common questions in Bowling

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Bowling

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
