Shower tray repair at your home in Ellington

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Ellington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Ellington: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ellington.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What affects the price in Ellington

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ellington. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE61 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Ellington

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

  • When it can be used again

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repair or replace in Ellington?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
