Shower tray repair in Common Side, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HD8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

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

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we’re called out for in Common Side

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
