Shower tray repair in Seaforth

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

About our shower tray repair in Seaforth

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Seaforth and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Seaforth, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Repair or replace in Seaforth?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, 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 book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs

Do you need shower tray repair in Seaforth?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
