Parkeston questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How we handle shower tray repair in Parkeston

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 enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

What affects the price in Parkeston

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Parkeston. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need shower tray repair in Parkeston?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Parkeston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
