Shower tray repair in Gurnett

Gurnett: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work in Gurnett?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gurnett. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Gurnett?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How we handle shower tray repair in Gurnett

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Gurnett

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gurnett. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Gurnett

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

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

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
