About our shower tray repair in Latchley

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Latchley

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Latchley?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Latchley?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Latchley?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Latchley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What affects the price in Latchley

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Latchley. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
