Rodborough questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Rodborough?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Shower tray repair in Rodborough, done in place

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 crack doesn’t come back. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and staining and dullness across the tray, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Rodborough

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

When to call us in Rodborough

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
