Shower tray repair in Bottom Boat

Shower tray repair in Bottom Boat, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  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. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
