Shower tray repair for Broadstone homes

About our shower tray repair in Broadstone

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Broadstone

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadstone use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Broadstone. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Broadstone?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
