DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brattle

For anyone letting property in or around Brattle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Brattle

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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.

FAQs for Brattle

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

What information do you need?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
