Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Silsoe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Silsoe: your questions answered

Do you work in Silsoe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Silsoe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Silsoe?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What we’re called out for in Silsoe

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
