Shower tray repair near Aldingham

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle shower tray repair in Aldingham

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

When to call us in Aldingham

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
