Shower tray repair in Turnditch

Shower tray repair at your home in Turnditch

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and edge chips from dropped bottles, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Turnditch

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Turnditch

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Turnditch

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What affects the price in Turnditch

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Turnditch. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
