Book shower tray repair in Tarlton

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle shower tray repair in Tarlton

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Tarlton

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Tarlton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Tarlton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
