Shower tray repair near Slade Green

Slade Green: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Slade Green?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Slade Green?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Slade Green, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Landlord and trade work in Slade Green

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
