Shower tray repair in Back

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Shower tray repair in Back, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Back

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlord and trade work in Back

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Back. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

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

Common problems we fix in Back

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. 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 cause damage underneath.
