How we handle shower tray repair in Girsby Vale

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

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

Common questions in Girsby Vale

Is it messy?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Girsby Vale, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

For anyone letting property in or around Girsby Vale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
