Shower tray repair for Handsacre homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Handsacre

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Handsacre, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need shower tray repair in Handsacre?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

Your questions about shower tray repair in Handsacre

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
