Shower tray repair for Danescourt homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

About our shower tray repair in Danescourt

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. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Questions from Danescourt

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CF5 postcode.

Are you accredited?

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

Are there extra charges for Danescourt?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
