Shower tray repair near Ousden

Shower tray repair at your home in Ousden

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ousden as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When to call us in Ousden

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Ousden, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Ousden?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ousden

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
