Shower tray repair for Ranton homes

Do you need shower tray repair in Ranton?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Our hiring checklist

How we handle shower tray repair in Ranton

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes, across stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ranton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Ranton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Ranton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST18 postcode.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long before I can shower?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ranton. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
