Need shower tray repair in Pickup Bank?

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

About our shower tray repair in Pickup Bank

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Pickup Bank

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Pickup Bank, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Pickup Bank

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we’re called out for in Pickup Bank

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pickup Bank

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
