Need shower tray repair in Meads?

Shower tray repair in Meads without replacing anything

You don’t 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. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Meads

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Meads

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repairing versus replacing in Meads

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Do you need shower tray repair in Meads?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
