10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston Bissett use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Preston Bissett

Are there extra charges for Preston Bissett?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Preston Bissett?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Preston Bissett. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Will you leave a mess?

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

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 is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We make sure 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
