Shower tray repair for Carlecotes homes

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

About our shower tray repair in Carlecotes

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

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

Repair or replace in Carlecotes?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in Carlecotes

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Common questions in Carlecotes

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Carlecotes included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you come to Carlecotes?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carlecotes for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Carlecotes

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carlecotes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Carlecotes, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
