FAQs for Braunston

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Braunston included. Travel is included in the price.

About our shower tray repair in Braunston

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Braunston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Braunston, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Braunston

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braunston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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.
