Trusted shower tray repair in Great Parndon

Shower tray repair in Great Parndon, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are often asked to fix chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Great Parndon questions

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Parndon. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Parndon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Great Parndon

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
