Shower tray repair near Portway

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Portway. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: 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.

Advice

When to call us in Portway

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Portway questions

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
