Shower tray repair in Gunnista, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Repair or replace in Gunnista?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlord and trade work in Gunnista

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunnista use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Gunnista questions

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Gunnista

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
