Shower tray repair in Preston St Mary

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Shower tray repair in Preston St Mary, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston St Mary

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

If you manage property in Preston St Mary, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
