Need shower tray repair in Eaton Ford?

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we handle shower tray repair in Eaton Ford

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Eaton Ford

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Eaton Ford questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you work in Eaton Ford?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Eaton Ford

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
