About our shower tray repair in Veldo

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Veldo questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Veldo?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HR1 postcode.

Do you cover Veldo?

We do. We send a technician to Veldo for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Veldo

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
