Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cardenden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Cardenden

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Cardenden?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Common problems we fix in Cardenden

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cardenden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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 quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.
