Downham West questions

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Downham West

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repair or replace in Downham West?

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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Downham West. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Downham West, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
