Book shower tray repair in Sandhaven

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Sandhaven

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common questions in Sandhaven

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Sandhaven is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
