Trusted shower tray repair in Gartree

Shower tray repair at your home in Gartree

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a crack across the base.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

When to call us in Gartree

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Gartree questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Gartree, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gartree as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
