About our shower tray repair in South Somercotes

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in South Somercotes

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Landlord and trade work in South Somercotes

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in South Somercotes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including South Somercotes. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, 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

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in South Somercotes, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in South Somercotes

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
