Shower tray repair in Trimley St Martin

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Trimley St Martin get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Shower tray repair in Trimley St Martin without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve 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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Trimley St Martin

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trimley St Martin use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
