Your questions about shower tray repair in Staple Hill

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BS16 postcode.

When to call us in Staple Hill

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Staple Hill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

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

Ceramic

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for 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 to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
