Shower tray repair in Six Mile Bottom

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair in Six Mile Bottom without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims.

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.

Six Mile Bottom: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Six Mile Bottom?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
