Shower tray repair in Soulbury

Shower tray repair at your home in Soulbury

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Soulbury

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Repair or replace in Soulbury?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Soulbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Soulbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
