Shower tray repair in Clayhanger

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Shower tray repair in Clayhanger without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Clayhanger. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Clayhanger

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Clayhanger?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you cover Clayhanger?

We do. We send a technician to Clayhanger for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Clayhanger

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
