Shower tray repair in Headley, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Headley. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we are called out for in Headley

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Headley

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Headley: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you come to Headley?

We do. We send a technician to Headley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
