Shower tray repair at your home in Springside

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Springside, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Springside: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

When can you do it?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you need shower tray repair in Springside?

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

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