Shower tray repair for Bole homes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bole questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bole

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
