Shower tray repair near Heighington

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Heighington, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Shower tray repair at your home in Heighington

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Heighington

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it messy?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Heighington?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
