Shower tray repair for Sandygate homes

Sandygate: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

About our shower tray repair in Sandygate

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandygate

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandygate

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandygate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

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

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sandygate

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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