Shower tray repair for High Cross homes

Shower tray repair at your home in High Cross

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Rural addresses like High Cross just need a little planning, and we’ll organise the visit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in High Cross

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches

If you manage a building such as Rotherfield Primary School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up. In a village or hamlet like High Cross, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around High Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in High Cross

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including High Cross. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

Honest limits

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in High Cross?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. For a rural home like those around High Cross, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while shower tray repair is one trip.

Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
