Shower tray repair near Sandford

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

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 can be filled and matched.

About our shower tray repair in Sandford

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 does not come back. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Sandford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Sandford: your questions answered

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Sandford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Sandford

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
