Shower tray repair near Carleton

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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 whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we handle shower tray repair in Carleton

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 repair lasts. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Carleton

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Carleton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your FY6 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Carleton included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Carleton?

We do. We send a technician to Carleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Carleton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Carleton. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Carleton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
