Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

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.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Anacrehill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlord and trade work in Anacrehill

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Anacrehill

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
