Shower tray repair near Guilsborough

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Shower tray repair at your home in Guilsborough

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Guilsborough

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Guilsborough?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Guilsborough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Common problems we fix in Guilsborough

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlord and trade work in Guilsborough

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Guilsborough as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
