About our shower tray repair in Binsey

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

When to call us in Binsey

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Binsey. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Binsey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Binsey and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Binsey

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you come to Binsey?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Binsey from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
