Trusted shower tray repair in Downham

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Downham, done in place

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 is the case. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a damaged area around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Your questions about shower tray repair in Downham

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Downham customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Do you need shower tray repair in Downham?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Downham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
