Shower tray repair near Brickhouses

Repair or replace in Brickhouses?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Shower tray repair at your home in Brickhouses

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Brickhouses

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cheshire East. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Brickhouses

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Brickhouses

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
