Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Upper Loads

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Upper Loads

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it messy?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Upper Loads?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Loads. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
