Shower tray repair for Causeway End homes

What affects the price in Causeway End

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Shower tray repair in Causeway End without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Causeway End

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

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.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
