Shower tray repair in Great Barton

Shower tray repair at your home in Great Barton

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Barton.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Barton

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Most clients in Great Barton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
