We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are.

Landlord and trade work in Bidston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bidston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CH43 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Common questions in Bidston

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Wirral. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
