Shower tray repair for Cow Hill homes

Cow Hill: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cow Hill?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

How we handle shower tray repair in Cow Hill

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, in enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Cow Hill

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally 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 does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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 whole tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cow Hill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Cow Hill?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
