Shower tray repair in Quainton, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. 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. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Quainton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Quainton

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Quainton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

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

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Quainton?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
