Shower tray repair in Little Gransden

Little Gransden questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Central Bedfordshire.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Shower tray repair at your home in Little Gransden

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Little Gransden

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Gransden use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Little Gransden, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Little Gransden

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Little Gransden?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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