About our shower tray repair in Tansor

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Tansor

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Tansor: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Tansor?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you cover Tansor?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tansor for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tansor

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

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. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
