How we handle shower tray repair in Great Canney

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Great Canney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Questions from Great Canney

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Canney for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

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

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When to call us in Great Canney

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
