About our shower tray repair in Weston Underwood

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Weston Underwood

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Weston Underwood

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Weston Underwood. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Questions from Weston Underwood

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Weston Underwood?

We do. We send a technician to Weston Underwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Weston Underwood. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
