Need shower tray repair in Roby?

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Roby

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairing versus replacing in Roby

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

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.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Roby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
