Shower tray repair in Allerford, done in place

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 so the repair blends in.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Allerford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Allerford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA24 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we’re called out for in Allerford

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

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

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
