About our shower tray repair in Glithno

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Glithno

If you manage property in Glithno, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Glithno

Do you work in Glithno?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Glithno. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Glithno. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

The process

Once we are through the door, 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Glithno

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

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