Shower tray repair in Bretford, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Bretford

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Bretford questions

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Bretford?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bretford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
