Shower tray repair in Temple Dinsley

Temple Dinsley: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send photos?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How we handle shower tray repair in Temple Dinsley

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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 whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Temple Dinsley

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Temple Dinsley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
