How we handle shower tray repair in Thrupe

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, across enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after 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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Our hiring checklist

Thrupe: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you work in Thrupe?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thrupe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

If you are in Thrupe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Thrupe

For anyone letting property in or around Thrupe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thrupe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
