When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

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. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Newbold get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
