Shower tray repair in Glen Parva

Shower tray repair in Glen Parva without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, across cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Glen Parva: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work in Glen Parva?

We do. We send a technician to Glen Parva for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Glen Parva

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Glen Parva

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
