Shower tray repair near Dawpool

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

About our shower tray repair in Dawpool

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Your questions about shower tray repair in Dawpool

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

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.

Is it messy?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Dawpool

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
