Shower tray repair in Coursehorn

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we handle shower tray repair in Coursehorn

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Coursehorn

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Coursehorn included. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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 normally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
