Shower tray repair for Etchinghill homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Etchinghill

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Etchinghill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Etchinghill

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Are there extra charges for Etchinghill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Etchinghill

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
