Shower tray repair in Redbourne without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and edge chips from dropped bottles, in ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Redbourne

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What do you need from me?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What affects the price in Redbourne

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Redbourne, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Redbourne

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Redbourne clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redbourne

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redbourne use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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.
