Shower tray repair near Grimston

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our shower tray repair in Grimston

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Grimston

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Grimston. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Grimston

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Questions from Grimston

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

We cover the entire UK, including Grimston and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
