Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stroud Common. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

About our shower tray repair in Stroud Common

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stroud Common

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Stroud Common

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

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.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Stroud Common

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Stroud Common

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
