Shower tray repair for Lower Swanwick homes

About our shower tray repair in Lower Swanwick

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Swanwick

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Lower Swanwick

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover Lower Swanwick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Swanwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lower Swanwick?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lower Swanwick?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
