Your questions about shower tray repair in Glenfield

When can I use the shower again?

Do you do work for letting agents?

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.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How we handle shower tray repair in Glenfield

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Glenfield and across Leicester.

Repair or replace in Glenfield?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Glenfield

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Glenfield

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

We price from photos 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.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
