Shower tray repair for Pettaugh homes

Shower tray repair in Pettaugh, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we are called out for in Pettaugh

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

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

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pettaugh

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pettaugh as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
