Shower tray repair in Sharpenhoe

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. 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.

Shower tray repair in Sharpenhoe without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right.

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your MK45 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Sharpenhoe

What information do you need?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Central Bedfordshire.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
