Trusted shower tray repair in Poughill

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair at your home in Poughill

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairing versus replacing in Poughill

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Poughill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Poughill. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Poughill questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poughill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
