Shower tray repair in Quintrell Downs without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Quintrell Downs use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Quintrell Downs

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Quintrell Downs

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Quintrell Downs.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Quintrell Downs. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
