About our shower tray repair in West Cliff

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in West Cliff

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Cliff as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

West Cliff: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes West Cliff. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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