Trusted shower tray repair in Cat's Common

Shower tray repair in Cat's Common, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Cat's Common questions

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Cat's Common?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Cat's Common?

We do. Technicians travel to Cat's Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cat's Common

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cat's Common. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
