Shower tray repair for East Bowling homes

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in East Bowling

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

Shower tray repair at your home in East Bowling

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Bowling and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

East Bowling: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for East Bowling?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to East Bowling. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Do you need shower tray repair in East Bowling?

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
