DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Calverton: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

When can you do it?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Calverton?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Calverton

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Calverton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Calverton

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Calverton. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
