Shower tray repair for Sparry Bottom homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sparry Bottom. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Sparry Bottom

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Which areas do you work in?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
