Shower tray repair in Toothill

Shower tray repair in Toothill without replacing anything

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 crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure 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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What we’re called out for in Toothill

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Landlord and trade work in Toothill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Toothill

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work in Toothill?

We do. We send a technician to Toothill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
