Trusted shower tray repair in Thurvaston

Shower tray repair at your home in Thurvaston

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage around the waste.

Homes around Thurvaston frequently have showers added to older buildings, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thurvaston as everywhere else we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Landlord and trade work in Thurvaston

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Thurvaston questions

Do you come out to small places like Thurvaston?

Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you repair shower trays at a school or business in Thurvaston?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

Do you cover Thurvaston?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thurvaston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. In an older home in a village like Thurvaston, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thurvaston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included. Somewhere as small as Thurvaston, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
