Shower tray repair near Ubley Sideling

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ubley Sideling, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Ubley Sideling

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ubley Sideling

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Ubley Sideling

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ubley Sideling. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ubley Sideling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ubley Sideling

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
