Shower tray repair in Postling

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Postling

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work, we can generally put it right.

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.

What affects the price in Postling

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Postling. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Postling

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
