Common problems we fix in Upper Church Village

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Upper Church Village, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Upper Church Village and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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