Shower tray repair near Little Amwell

Little Amwell: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

About our shower tray repair in Little Amwell

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repair or replace in Little Amwell?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Little Amwell

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

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Little Amwell, 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.
