Shower tray repair at your home in Rothwell

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rothwell. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rothwell

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rothwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Rothwell clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Rothwell

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Rothwell. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
