Shower tray repair in Stretton without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stretton and across Rutland.

Stretton questions

Will it make a mess?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Rutland.

Do you come to Stretton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stretton and the rest of Rutland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Stretton

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What affects the price in Stretton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stretton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rutland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace in Stretton?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
