Shower tray repair in Grimeston

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our shower tray repair in Grimeston

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix scratches in the surface and movement when you stand on it, across acrylic, 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.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

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

FAQs for Grimeston

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens next?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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