Need shower tray repair in Prestwood?

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

About our shower tray repair in Prestwood

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a damaged area around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Prestwood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Prestwood clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Prestwood

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you cover Prestwood?

We do. Technicians travel to Prestwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Prestwood

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
