Shower tray repair in Stowupland

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair in Stowupland, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and movement when you stand on it, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stowupland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Stowupland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stowupland as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What affects the price in Stowupland

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
