Shower tray repair for Shefford homes

About our shower tray repair in Shefford

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shefford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Shefford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Shefford

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Common questions in Shefford

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
