Shower tray repair in Cardington

Shower tray repair in Cardington without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cardington

If you manage property in Cardington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bedford Borough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Cardington

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Cardington. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cardington

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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