The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. For a rural address like Buchanhaven, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. In an older home in a village like Buchanhaven, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buchanhaven

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Buchanhaven questions

Do you cover villages like Buchanhaven?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

If you’re in Buchanhaven and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
