Shower tray repair near Linton

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Shower tray repair in Linton, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Linton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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.

When to call us in Linton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
