FAQs for Elsworth

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are there extra charges for Elsworth?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Elsworth, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elsworth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
