Shower tray repair near Great Berry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we handle shower tray repair in Great Berry

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Berry

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Berry. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlord and trade work in Great Berry

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
