How we handle shower tray repair in Royston

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and damage around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Royston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Royston: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts 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.
