How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sandyford. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandyford

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Sandyford

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
