About our shower tray repair in Pytchley

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.

In a village like Pytchley, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Pytchley?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Replacement in Pytchley means trades, travel and waste removal, while shower tray repair is one trip.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere as small as Pytchley, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Pytchley

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Pytchley

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Common reasons people in Pytchley contact us are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

Landlords with property near Kettering station (about 2.1 miles north) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
