Shower tray repair near Newbold Astbury

How we handle shower tray repair in Newbold Astbury

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Newbold Astbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newbold Astbury. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you 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, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Signs you need shower tray repair in Newbold Astbury

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Newbold Astbury

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
