Shower tray repair near Upton

Shower tray repair in Upton without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Upton

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Upton: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Upton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
