Shower tray repair for Keyham homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Shower tray repair in Keyham without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and a cracked shower tray, in cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Keyham

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Keyham: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Keyham. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not 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. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price
