Shower tray repair for Bonaly homes

About our shower tray repair in Bonaly

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bonaly. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Bonaly and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
