Shower tray repair in Sandy Lane without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sandy Lane and across Wiltshire.

Repair or replace in Sandy Lane?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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 Sandy Lane

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Sandy Lane questions

Is it messy?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Sandy Lane?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will there be a smell?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we are called out for in Sandy Lane

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sandy Lane. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
