Shower tray repair for Assington homes

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Shower tray repair in Assington, done in place

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
