What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

About our shower tray repair in Baythorne End

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and chips caused during fitting, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Baythorne End. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Questions from Baythorne End

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Baythorne End.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
