Shower tray repair near Claydon

How we handle shower tray repair in Claydon

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Claydon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Claydon

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Claydon

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Claydon questions

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
