Shower tray repair in Beaconside without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Beaconside questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Common problems we fix in Beaconside

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
