Questions from King's Caple

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How much does shower tray repair cost in King's Caple?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Signs you need shower tray repair in King's Caple

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

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

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Repairing versus replacing in King's Caple

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to King's Caple. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

The process

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 is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
