How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found 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. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Strongstry?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Strongstry and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Strongstry

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

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Questions from Strongstry

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Strongstry?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Landlord and trade work in Strongstry

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
