Shower tray repair in Parkengear, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Parkengear

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Parkengear

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Parkengear?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Questions from Parkengear

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Parkengear?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Parkengear. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

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’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
