Shower tray repair in Aldersbrook without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldersbrook use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Aldersbrook?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What happens on the day

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 a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  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. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aldersbrook questions

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair
