Shower tray repair near St Martin

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, 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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

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

About our shower tray repair in St Martin

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Martin

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to St Martin. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

St Martin: your questions answered

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there any odour?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
