Shower tray repair in Howwood

Questions from Howwood

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it messy?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Do you work in Howwood?

We do. We send a technician to Howwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Shower tray repair in Howwood, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

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

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Howwood

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

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.

Enamelled steel

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

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Howwood

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
