Shower tray repair in Raydon

Shower tray repair in Raydon without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Raydon customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Raydon

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

We do. We send a technician to Raydon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Raydon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
