Shower tray repair near Horton

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

About our shower tray repair in Horton

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Horton questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Horton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Horton

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Horton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
