Shower tray repair in Shalford

What affects the price in Shalford

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shalford. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Shalford

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Shalford questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens next?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
