Trusted shower tray repair in Acklam

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Acklam

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Do you need shower tray repair in Acklam?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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.

Acklam questions

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Middlesbrough. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
