Signs you need shower tray repair in Siston

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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 do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Questions from Siston

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of South Gloucestershire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Siston?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
