Repairing versus replacing in Cimla

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

Why Cimla customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cimla

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cimla as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cimla

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
