About our shower tray repair in Elstead

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges, in acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elstead

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elstead as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about shower tray repair in Elstead

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Elstead?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

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