Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
Do you need shower tray repair in Aylestone?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Aylestone contact us include:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aylestone
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Aylestone
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
