Shower tray repair for Abbotts Barton homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Abbotts Barton

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Abbotts Barton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A few things move the price: 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.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Materials we work on in Abbotts Barton

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
