Shower tray repair near Great Coxwell

Shower tray repair in Great Coxwell, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  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 typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

FAQs for Great Coxwell

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Great Coxwell?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Great Coxwell

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Great Coxwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Coxwell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
