How we handle shower tray repair in Elton

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

Elton questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Elton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Elton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
