Shower tray repair near Smallbridge

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smallbridge

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Shower tray repair in Smallbridge, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and scuffs and light scratches, across enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Smallbridge as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Smallbridge

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Do you work in Smallbridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Smallbridge. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What we’re called out for in Smallbridge

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

Repair or replace in Smallbridge?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
