Shower tray repair for Gamston homes

Landlord and trade work in Gamston

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our shower tray repair in Gamston

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Gamston

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Gamston: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Are there extra charges for Gamston?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Gamston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
