Questions from Rough Hills

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Shower tray repair at your home in Rough Hills

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rough Hills use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
