Shower tray repair near Holton St Mary

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

About our shower tray repair in Holton St Mary

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Holton St Mary

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Holton St Mary and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Holton St Mary

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Holton St Mary: your questions answered

Do you cover Holton St Mary?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Holton St Mary from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Holton St Mary. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

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.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Holton St Mary?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

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