Trusted shower tray repair in Tibenham

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle shower tray repair in Tibenham

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can help.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Tibenham: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Tibenham?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Tibenham?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.
