Trusted shower tray repair in Carleton St Peter

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

About our shower tray repair in Carleton St Peter

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carleton St Peter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Carleton St Peter

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Carleton St Peter?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairing versus replacing in Carleton St Peter

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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