Shower tray repair near Swinscoe

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Shower tray repair in Swinscoe without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swinscoe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinscoe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What affects the price in Swinscoe

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Swinscoe get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Swinscoe

How much does shower tray repair cost in Swinscoe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE6 postcode.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Repairing versus replacing in Swinscoe

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. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
