DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we handle shower tray repair in Rostherne

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface, in acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rostherne. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Rostherne get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

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.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need shower tray repair in Rostherne?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Common questions in Rostherne

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
