Trusted shower tray repair in Brantham

Shower tray repair in Brantham, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Brantham

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace in Brantham?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our full price list.

What affects the price in Brantham

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Brantham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brantham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Brantham questions

Do you cover Brantham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Brantham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Brantham?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO11 postcode.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
