Shower tray repair at your home in North Cerney

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in North Cerney

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in North Cerney contact us are:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for North Cerney

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why North Cerney clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in North Cerney

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
