Book shower tray repair in Rotherfield

What affects the price in Rotherfield

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair at your home in Rotherfield

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and chipped corners or rims, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Rotherfield questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Rotherfield

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
