Shower tray repair for Scald End homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Shower tray repair at your home in Scald End

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Scald End

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Are there extra charges for Scald End?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Scald End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our prices page.

What affects the price in Scald End

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Scald End get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scald End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we’re called out for in Scald End

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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