About our shower tray repair in Sands End

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, 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. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlord and trade work in Sands End

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Sands End

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Sands End?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
