Shower tray repair near Great Horwood

About our shower tray repair in Great Horwood

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Horwood

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Great Horwood?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the entire of Milton Keynes?

Everywhere in the UK, Great Horwood included. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Great Horwood

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Horwood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
