Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carrville

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Carrville questions

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Carrville?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
