Shower tray repair in Little Easton

Little Easton questions

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

About our shower tray repair in Little Easton

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Little Easton?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Little Easton

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Little Easton. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Little Easton

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Little Easton clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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