Trusted shower tray repair in Tilney High End

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Shower tray repair in Tilney High End without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Tilney High End: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Tilney High End?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Tilney High End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How soon can you come?

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

  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

10 questions to ask before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

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

Repairing versus replacing in Tilney High End

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
