Shower tray repair for Heysham homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Heysham

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Heysham

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions from Heysham

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. 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.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
