Book shower tray repair in Shireoaks

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

Shower tray repair in Shireoaks, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

When to call us in Shireoaks

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Common reasons people in Shireoaks contact us are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Shireoaks clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shireoaks. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Shireoaks, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Shireoaks

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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