How we handle shower tray repair in Colby

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need shower tray repair in Colby?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Colby. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
