Shower tray repair in Plantation, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

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.

Questions from Plantation

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are there extra charges for Plantation?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Plantation?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
