Shower tray repair in Port Charlotte

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Shower tray repair in Port Charlotte, done in place

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Port Charlotte

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Port Charlotte. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Port Charlotte questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Landlord and trade work in Port Charlotte

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Port Charlotte, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

Common problems we fix in Port Charlotte

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

  • Ceramic

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
