How we handle shower tray repair in Benter

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Benter

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Do you need shower tray repair in Benter?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
