How we handle shower tray repair in Selston

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Selston

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Selston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Common problems we fix in Selston

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
