Shower tray repair near Upton

How we handle shower tray repair in Upton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, in acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

Once we are through the door, 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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Upton questions

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What affects the price in Upton

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Upton. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Upton

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Upton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
