Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Shower tray repair at your home in Frankwell

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Frankwell. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

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

When to call us in Frankwell

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Frankwell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Frankwell

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Frankwell?

We do. We send a technician to Frankwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
