How we handle shower tray repair in Cricklade

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Cricklade

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swindon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What affects the price in Cricklade

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cricklade

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Cricklade: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swindon.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover the whole of Swindon?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cricklade. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
