Shower tray repair for Thelnetham homes

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  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 next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Thelnetham

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Thelnetham

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thelnetham. The price depends on:

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

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Thelnetham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
