Shower tray repair in Preston on Wye

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we work on in Preston on Wye

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

Shower tray repair in Preston on Wye, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Preston on Wye questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Preston on Wye?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Preston on Wye for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

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

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Preston on Wye?

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 do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re 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. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston on Wye

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Preston on Wye, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
