Shower tray repair in Braeside

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in Braeside without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Braeside

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braeside use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Braeside

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Braeside?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
