Shower tray repair near Ringstead

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ringstead. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common problems we fix in Ringstead

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work

Why repair rather than replace?

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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page.

Ringstead questions

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
