Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Green

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our pricing.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairs by material

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.

Stone resin

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe Green

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Thorpe Green: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
