Shower tray repair in Brackenborough

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Shower tray repair at your home in Brackenborough

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Brackenborough: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Brackenborough. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

What we are called out for in Brackenborough

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brackenborough

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace in Brackenborough?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
