Shower tray repair near Gosbeck

Shower tray repair at your home in Gosbeck

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 repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Gosbeck and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Gosbeck

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Landlord and trade work in Gosbeck

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
