Questions from Swinton

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of Rotherham?

The whole UK, including all of Rotherham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Do you need shower tray repair in Swinton?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. 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 cause damage underneath.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Swinton. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Swinton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
