About our shower tray repair in Downley

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are often asked to fix a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Downley: your questions answered

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Downley?

We do. We send a technician to Downley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Downley?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repairing versus replacing in Downley

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Downley. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
