Trusted shower tray repair in Scarning

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Shower tray repair at your home in Scarning

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we work on in Scarning

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

What we’re called out for in Scarning

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlord and trade work in Scarning

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Scarning questions

What do you need from me?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
