Trusted shower tray repair in Sywell

Shower tray repair in Sywell, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Sywell

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

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

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Sywell

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sywell. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sywell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Sywell

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sywell

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sywell included. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northamptonshire.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface 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 protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
