Book shower tray repair in Spondon

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair in Spondon without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We are frequently asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Spondon

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

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 quote the same day in most cases.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Spondon

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Spondon

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Spondon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
