About our shower tray repair in Nethercote

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Nethercote

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

Repairing versus replacing in Nethercote

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Nethercote

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

Across the UK, so Nethercote is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Nethercote?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your OX17 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Nethercote, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
