Shower tray repair near Channel's End

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

About our shower tray repair in Channel's End

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a cracked shower tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Channel's End?

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
