Shower tray repair near Englefield

Shower tray repair at your home in Englefield

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Englefield

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Englefield?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Englefield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Englefield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Englefield. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RG7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need shower tray repair in Englefield?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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