How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Banks: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Sefton. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sefton.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface

Repairing versus replacing in Banks

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why Banks clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

Here’s how a visit normally 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Banks

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sefton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
