When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Shower tray repair in Three Horse Shoes, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Three Horse Shoes and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Do you need shower tray repair in Three Horse Shoes?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
