Shower tray repair near Cubley

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Cubley

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Cubley?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

Cubley questions

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cubley.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we are called out for in Cubley

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

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.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
