Book shower tray repair in Sithney Common

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sithney Common. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Shower tray repair at your home in Sithney Common

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Sithney Common: your questions answered

Do you work in Sithney Common?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sithney Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Sithney Common is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Sithney Common

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Sithney Common

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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