Need shower tray repair in Butterton?

Shower tray repair in Butterton without replacing anything

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’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Butterton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Butterton

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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Butterton: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Butterton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST5 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.
