Shower tray repair near Swiss Valley

Swiss Valley: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Shower tray repair in Swiss Valley without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swiss Valley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  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. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Swiss Valley

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Swiss Valley?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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