Shower tray repair for Swinfen homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Swinfen

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

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

Common questions in Swinfen

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work in Swinfen?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Swinfen. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Swinfen

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swinfen, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
