Shower tray repair near Caunton

Shower tray repair in Caunton without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

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

Caunton: your questions answered

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Caunton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
