Your questions about shower tray repair in Bruisyard

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairing versus replacing in Bruisyard

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bruisyard

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

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

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Bruisyard

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bruisyard use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bruisyard. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
