Shower tray repair for Sheering homes

Shower tray repair in Sheering without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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 work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. 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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

What affects the price in Sheering

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheering

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Sheering, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Sheering

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
