Shower tray repair in Tickencote

About our shower tray repair in Tickencote

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

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

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. 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. 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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Tickencote

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Tickencote

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE9 postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
