Shower tray repair for Cockerham homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cockerham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Shower tray repair in Cockerham, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are often asked to fix chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches, in stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cockerham

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Cockerham: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cockerham. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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