Shower tray repair in Sandleford without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Sandleford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Sandleford?

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

FAQs for Sandleford

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Sandleford and the rest of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sandleford.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
