How we handle shower tray repair in Laddingford

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Laddingford

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

Common reasons people in Laddingford contact us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Laddingford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Laddingford

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. 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. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
