Repairing versus replacing in Paxford

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Paxford

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Paxford. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Paxford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

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

Paxford questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Gloucestershire.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, 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, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
