Shower tray repair in Owlpen

Shower tray repair at your home in Owlpen

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Owlpen

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Common reasons people in Owlpen contact us are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Owlpen

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Owlpen?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Owlpen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
