About our shower tray repair in Leighton Buzzard

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Leighton Buzzard and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repair or replace in Leighton Buzzard?

The tray is generally 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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Leighton Buzzard

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Leighton Buzzard?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Leighton Buzzard. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LU7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
