Shower tray repair in Sapperton

Shower tray repair at your home in Sapperton

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Sapperton: your questions answered

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sapperton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
