Your questions about shower tray repair in Old Edlington

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DN12 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repair or replace in Old Edlington?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
