About our shower tray repair in Cucklington

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Cucklington

Is my repair covered?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cucklington

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Cucklington

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
