Shower tray repair near Cadley

Shower tray repair in Cadley, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Cadley

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cadley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Cadley

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cadley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we are called out for in Cadley

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Cadley: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Cadley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
