Shower tray repair in Filton

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Shower tray repair in Filton without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Filton: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across South Gloucestershire.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Do you cover the whole of South Gloucestershire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Filton

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

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

Advice

When to call us in Filton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
