Need shower tray repair in Sorn?

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

Shower tray repair in Sorn without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Sorn

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Sorn

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When to call us in Sorn

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

Common reasons people in Sorn contact us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Repair or replace in Sorn?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
