Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What affects the price in Springbourne

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Springbourne. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Springbourne: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Springbourne?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Springbourne

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
