FAQs for Lower Coombe

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we work on in Lower Coombe

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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