Shower tray repair in Braithwaite

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Braithwaite

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long does it take to cure?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Braithwaite?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Braithwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
