Shower tray repair in Thompson

What affects the price in Thompson

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we handle shower tray repair in Thompson

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

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

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thompson

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Thompson?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repair or replace in Thompson?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thompson. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need shower tray repair in Thompson?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
