Landlords, agents and businesses in Tye

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Shower tray repair in Tye without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tye. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Tye

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Tye

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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.
