Shower tray repair for Osgodby homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Shower tray repair in Osgodby, done in place

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. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Osgodby

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Osgodby. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Osgodby, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
