Repairing versus replacing in Swattenden

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Shower tray repair at your home in Swattenden

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
