Shower tray repair for Clifton homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Clifton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Clifton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

How to compare quotes

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Clifton

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Clifton?

We do. Technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Clifton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should you replace it?

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
