Shower tray repair near Metfield

How we handle shower tray repair in Metfield

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Metfield

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Metfield included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace in Metfield?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need shower tray repair in Metfield?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Metfield as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
