Questions from Caythorpe

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Caythorpe?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

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

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Caythorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Caythorpe?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
