Shower tray repair at your home in Denstroude

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Denstroude

If you manage property in Denstroude, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Denstroude: your questions answered

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Denstroude?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What affects the price in Denstroude

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Denstroude. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

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

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Denstroude?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Denstroude. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • No need to remove anything
