Shower tray repair near Swaby

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle shower tray repair in Swaby

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Swaby and want a price, pictures 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.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Swaby: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Swaby?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
