Shower tray repair in Buckminster

How we handle shower tray repair in Buckminster

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, across cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common problems we fix in Buckminster

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
