Shower tray repair in Churchtown, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in Churchtown

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

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

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What affects the price in Churchtown

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Churchtown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace in Churchtown?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Churchtown: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
