Shower tray repair in Edge End

How we handle shower tray repair in Edge End

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a tray that flexes.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Edge End: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Edge End?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Edge End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairing versus replacing in Edge End

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Edge End, and we will reply with a fixed price.

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
