Shower tray repair near Edlesborough

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Edlesborough. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Repairing versus replacing in Edlesborough

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Questions from Edlesborough

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Edlesborough included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Edlesborough.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

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

When to call us in Edlesborough

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
