Shower tray repair in Prestwood, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Prestwood. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Prestwood

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When to call us in Prestwood

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Prestwood questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Prestwood and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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