About our shower tray repair in Clare Market

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and damage around the waste.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Clare Market as everywhere else we work.

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Repair or replace in Clare Market?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

How do I book?

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlord and trade work in Clare Market

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Clare Market. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common problems we fix in Clare Market

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
