How we handle shower tray repair in Stratton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and damage around the waste, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stratton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Stratton

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Stratton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX23 postcode.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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.

What affects the price in Stratton

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Stratton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are 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. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

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