How much does shower tray repair cost in New Parks?

Shower tray repair at your home in New Parks

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 will explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in New Parks

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in New Parks

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
