Trusted shower tray repair in Smallwood

Shower tray repair in Smallwood without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Smallwood

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Smallwood, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Smallwood

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Smallwood is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work in Smallwood?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Smallwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we’re called out for in Smallwood

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
