Shower tray repair in Shirecliffe

Shower tray repair in Shirecliffe without replacing anything

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’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shirecliffe. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Shirecliffe: your questions answered

Do you cover Shirecliffe?

We do. We send a technician to Shirecliffe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Shirecliffe?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need shower tray repair in Shirecliffe?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
