Shower tray repair near Upper Farringdon

Your questions about shower tray repair in Upper Farringdon

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Upper Farringdon included. Travel is included in the price.

Is my repair covered?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Shower tray repair at your home in Upper Farringdon

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

When to call us in Upper Farringdon

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
