When to call us in St Mary's Bay

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in St Mary's Bay

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Mary's Bay as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from St Mary's Bay

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does shower tray repair cost in St Mary's Bay?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
