Shower tray repair near Durrant Green

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we handle shower tray repair in Durrant Green

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Common questions in Durrant Green

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Durrant Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Durrant Green

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Durrant Green. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Durrant Green

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
