Trusted shower tray repair in Cookshill

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Shower tray repair in Cookshill, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cookshill?

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

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.

Acrylic

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

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cookshill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Cookshill

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, 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.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What affects the price in Cookshill

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
