Shower tray repair in Ravenhead without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common problems we fix in Ravenhead

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ravenhead

If you manage property in Ravenhead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

Different materials, different repairs

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 trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What affects the price in Ravenhead

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Questions from Ravenhead

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
