How we handle shower tray repair in Broad Ford

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Broad Ford. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Broad Ford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Broad Ford

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

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

Repair or replace in Broad Ford?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Your questions about shower tray repair in Broad Ford

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Broad Ford?

We do. We send a technician to Broad Ford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
