Trusted shower tray repair in Mettingham

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Shower tray repair in Mettingham, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need shower tray repair in Mettingham?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Mettingham

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mettingham

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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 do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR35 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Questions from Mettingham

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you cover Mettingham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Mettingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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