Shower tray repair near Tuxford

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tuxford. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Shower tray repair in Tuxford without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

Questions from Tuxford

Do you cover Tuxford?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Tuxford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Tuxford

Look out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we work on in Tuxford

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tuxford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
