Need shower tray repair in Swallownest?

What we are called out for in Swallownest

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

Facilities teams at buildings such as Swallownest Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How we handle shower tray repair in Swallownest

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, whatever the material.

Homes around Swallownest are mostly houses and bungalows, and a shower tray repair is usually a few hours’ work.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swallownest and across Rotherham.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Swallownest

Can you repair shower trays in a rental near Woodhouse station?

Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price.

Do you take on commercial work in Swallownest?

Yes, and we are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. Visits around Swallownest are usually simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in Swallownest

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
