How we handle shower tray repair in West Chelborough

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for West Chelborough

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in West Chelborough?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take 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. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Chelborough

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
