Thorpe Mandeville questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When can you do it?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Shower tray repair at your home in Thorpe Mandeville

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe Mandeville

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe Mandeville as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Mandeville

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thorpe Mandeville. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need shower tray repair in Thorpe Mandeville?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.
