Shower tray repair in Alfrick Pound

Shower tray repair in Alfrick Pound without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Alfrick Pound

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Alfrick Pound

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

Common problems we fix in Alfrick Pound

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
