Shower tray repair in Swettenham without replacing anything

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

FAQs for Swettenham

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CW12 postcode.

How do I book?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Swettenham

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Swettenham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
