Shower tray repair in Little France

Shower tray repair in Little France without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What affects the price in Little France

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
