Shower tray repair in Renhold

Shower tray repair in Renhold without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in Renhold

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What a repair can’t fix

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Renhold

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
