Shower tray repair for Over Peover homes

About our shower tray repair in Over Peover

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and cracks running from the waste, across cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Over Peover. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Over Peover

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
