Shower tray repair for Terras homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Terras

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and staining and dullness across the tray.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Terras as everywhere else we work.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Terras. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Most customers in Terras get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Terras

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

When to call us in Terras

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

Terras questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
