Shower tray repair in Southrey, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

How to care for the repair

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Southrey questions

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southrey

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Southrey

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
