Shower tray repair near Parkgate

About our shower tray repair in Parkgate

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Parkgate. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Parkgate: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Parkgate?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace in Parkgate?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Parkgate

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Parkgate use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
