Shower tray repair in Trebilcock, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trebilcock

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

FAQs for Trebilcock

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Trebilcock and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
