Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Do you need shower tray repair in Bank Top?

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Look out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Bank Top: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover Bank Top?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bank Top. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Repair or replace in Bank Top?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bank Top. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Bank Top clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we work on in Bank Top

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  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 the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
