Shower tray repair in Codnor

Shower tray repair in Codnor, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Codnor

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Codnor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we are called out for in Codnor

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Codnor

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Most customers in Codnor get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
