Shower tray repair in Kelham, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Kelham

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Kelham

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kelham

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Kelham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kelham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
