The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure 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 usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

How we handle shower tray repair in Alkborough

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Alkborough

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alkborough

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Alkborough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
