Trusted shower tray repair in Curborough

Shower tray repair in Curborough without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

When to call us in Curborough

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Curborough

If you manage property in Curborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Curborough questions

Are there extra charges for Curborough?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Curborough. Prices don’t change with location.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Curborough

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Curborough clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
