Shower tray repair in Frostenden

Shower tray repair at your home in Frostenden

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Frostenden as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Frostenden

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you charge for travel?

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

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Frostenden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Frostenden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Frostenden. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Frostenden get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
