How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Shower tray repair in Sholden without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Sholden

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sholden

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
