FAQs for Georgetown

How much does shower tray repair cost in Georgetown?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Georgetown

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Georgetown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
