  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste

Our hiring checklist

How we handle shower tray repair in Boldre

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO41 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Boldre?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Boldre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
