Shower tray repair in Underwood

Common questions in Underwood

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Underwood included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Shower tray repair in Underwood, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Underwood

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
