Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Your questions about shower tray repair in Keycol

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you work in Keycol?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Keycol. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What we’re called out for in Keycol

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
