Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Ramridge End

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Ramridge End questions

Will it make a mess?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ramridge End?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Ramridge End?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Ramridge End

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
