Shower tray repair near Totham Hill

Shower tray repair in Totham Hill without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When to call us in Totham Hill

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Totham Hill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Totham Hill

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
