Shower tray repair in Drayton

Shower tray repair in Drayton without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste, we can help.

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

FAQs for Drayton

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Drayton

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Drayton. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we work on in Drayton

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
