Shower tray repair for Coleford homes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Coleford

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 dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

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

FAQs for Coleford

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are there extra charges for Coleford?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

For landlords and businesses

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Coleford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
