Shower tray repair in Swan Valley

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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 is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Swan Valley

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swan Valley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Swan Valley

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Swan Valley?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN4 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Repairing versus replacing in Swan Valley

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Swan Valley clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Swan Valley

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
