Shower tray repair for Upper Town homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Upper Town

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace in Upper Town?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

FAQs for Upper Town

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.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
