Shower tray repair in Merrivale

Questions from Merrivale

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HR9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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