Shower tray repair near Olchard

Shower tray repair in Olchard without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Olchard. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Olchard, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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