Shower tray repair at your home in West Thorney

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

West Thorney questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Thorney.

Are there extra charges for West Thorney?

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

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

How much does shower tray repair cost in West Thorney?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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 following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PO10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
