Shower tray repair in Heath End

What affects the price in Heath End

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we handle shower tray repair in Heath End

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heath End as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Heath End

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Heath End: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

Across the UK, so Heath End is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

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

  • Chips on the edges

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
