Questions from Streatley

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you come to Streatley?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Streatley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Shower tray repair in Streatley without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches, we can generally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Streatley as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When to call us in Streatley

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Streatley clients choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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