Shower tray repair near Frocester

About our shower tray repair in Frocester

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Frocester and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Frocester

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Frocester

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Frocester?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frocester

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
