Shower tray repair near Taxal

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our shower tray repair in Taxal

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and a crack across the base, we can help, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

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

When to call us in Taxal

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Common reasons people in Taxal contact us include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

Landlords, agents and businesses in Taxal

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Taxal use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Taxal: your questions answered

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Taxal. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Repairing versus replacing in Taxal

A new shower tray generally 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. Every job is a little different, 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.
