Book shower tray repair in Belfast

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Shower tray repair in Belfast without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Most clients in Belfast get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Belfast

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belfast

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Belfast as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Belfast, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Belfast

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish
