Shower tray repair for Sacombe homes

Shower tray repair in Sacombe without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right.

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

Questions from Sacombe

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you come to Sacombe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sacombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What affects the price in Sacombe

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sacombe. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
