Shower tray repair for Shalcombe homes

Shower tray repair in Shalcombe, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Shalcombe questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Isle of Wight.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Shalcombe

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
