About our shower tray repair in Glespin

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Glespin questions

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Glespin?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ML11 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you cover Glespin?

We do. We send a technician to Glespin for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glespin use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Glespin

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
