About our shower tray repair in Clapgate

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Clapgate

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Clapgate?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Clapgate included. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Clapgate

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
