Trusted shower tray repair in Higher Nyland

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle shower tray repair in Higher Nyland

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common problems we fix in Higher Nyland

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Higher Nyland

How much does shower tray repair cost in Higher Nyland?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
