Shower tray repair in Stramshall

Shower tray repair in Stramshall without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, we can help.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Stramshall

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

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

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

What affects the price in Stramshall

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does shower tray repair cost?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
