Shower tray repair in Sharpthorne

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

About our shower tray repair in Sharpthorne

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sharpthorne and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Sharpthorne

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Sharpthorne

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Sharpthorne: your questions answered

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Sharpthorne?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sharpthorne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Sharpthorne and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
