Shower tray repair in Shearston, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Shearston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What affects the price in Shearston

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Shearston

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Common questions in Shearston

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repair or replace in Shearston?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
