Trusted shower tray repair in Bishophill

Repairs by material

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.

Ceramic

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

About our shower tray repair in Bishophill

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishophill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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 may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
