About our shower tray repair in Chapel End

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We are often asked to fix chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, across acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chapel End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Chapel End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need shower tray repair in Chapel End?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chapel End, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chapel End

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

Across the UK, and that includes Chapel End. Prices do not change with location.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
