Shower tray repair for Porchfield homes

About our shower tray repair in Porchfield

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Porchfield questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Porchfield?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Porchfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. 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. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
