Shower tray repair at your home in Southam

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Southam: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Southam?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Common problems we fix in Southam

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Common reasons people in Southam contact us are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Most customers in Southam get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
