Shower tray repair near Vellow

What affects the price in Vellow

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Vellow. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

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

About our shower tray repair in Vellow

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlord and trade work in Vellow

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Vellow questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Common problems we fix in Vellow

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 generally the cheaper route.
