How to compare quotes

Shower tray repair in Church End without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Advice

Common questions in Church End

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your N3 postcode.

Across the UK, so Church End is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repair or replace in Church End?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Church End. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Church End get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
