Shower tray repair in Chesterton

Shower tray repair in Chesterton without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray, across enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Chesterton

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chesterton. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Chesterton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chesterton

Is my repair covered?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

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.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Chesterton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
