Shower tray repair near Tunstead Milton

Shower tray repair at your home in Tunstead Milton

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We are often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Tunstead Milton: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlord and trade work in Tunstead Milton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
