Shower tray repair in Cowplain

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Cowplain

Shower tray repair in Cowplain without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

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 can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Cowplain: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

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

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Does someone need to be in?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Common problems we fix in Cowplain

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
