Shower tray repair at your home in Bulcote

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

In a village like Bulcote, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Bulcote

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Rented homes near Burton Joyce station (about 1 mile south-west) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it. In a village or hamlet like Bulcote, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bulcote

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Bulcote, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
