Book shower tray repair in Tillington

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Shower tray repair in Tillington without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK

Questions from Tillington

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for Tillington?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Tillington

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tillington. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
