Shower tray repair at your home in Butley

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We are often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, across stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Butley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Butley

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Butley: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Butley. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Butley?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
