Your questions about shower tray repair in Winterbourne Steepleton

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Common problems we fix in Winterbourne Steepleton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive 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.
