Shower tray repair in Eastgate

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

About our shower tray repair in Eastgate

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Questions from Eastgate

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Eastgate?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Eastgate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of Peterborough?

Across the UK, so Eastgate is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild 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 cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eastgate

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Eastgate

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
