Shower tray repair in Blythswood Hill

Shower tray repair in Blythswood Hill, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

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.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
