Trusted shower tray repair in Exton

Shower tray repair in Exton without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Exton

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Exton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Exton: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
