How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we handle shower tray repair in Shipham

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Shipham?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shipham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Shipham

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Shipham

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Shipham?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
