Shower tray repair at your home in Napley

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Napley

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Napley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Napley

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
