How we handle shower tray repair in Coombe Keynes

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Coombe Keynes

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What we are called out for in Coombe Keynes

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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 give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
