How we handle shower tray repair in Paulsgrove

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Paulsgrove questions

Is there a guarantee?

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

Are there extra charges for Paulsgrove?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we work on in Paulsgrove

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

What affects the price in Paulsgrove

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Paulsgrove. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Paulsgrove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
