Shower tray repair near Middlebie

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our shower tray repair in Middlebie

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. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Middlebie

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Middlebie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Middlebie clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Middlebie

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Middlebie?

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.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Middlebie, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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