Shower tray repair in Leighswood

How we handle shower tray repair in Leighswood

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Leighswood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Leighswood

  • Cast iron

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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 typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Leighswood and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Leighswood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Leighswood

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
