Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Stanningfield without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

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.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP29 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
