Shower tray repair near Cattal

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

About our shower tray repair in Cattal

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray, across enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cattal?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cattal as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Cattal: your questions answered

How much does shower tray repair cost in Cattal?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
