What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Boothgate

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boothgate

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boothgate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Boothgate questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

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

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
