Trusted shower tray repair in Icknield

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Icknield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we handle shower tray repair in Icknield

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base, we can help, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Icknield and across Luton.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked 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. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Icknield

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

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

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Questions from Icknield

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you cover Icknield?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Icknield and the rest of Luton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Repair or replace in Icknield?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
