Shower tray repair in Faulkbourne, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and chips on the edges, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Questions from Faulkbourne

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Faulkbourne?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you cover Faulkbourne?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Faulkbourne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common problems we fix in Faulkbourne

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
