About our shower tray repair in Headley

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Headley

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Headley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Headley

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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, and the work is guaranteed.
