Book shower tray repair in Lower Falkenham

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Falkenham. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Falkenham

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are

FAQs for Lower Falkenham

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Do you work in Lower Falkenham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lower Falkenham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Lower Falkenham

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
