Shower tray repair in Brandon without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Brandon

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Brandon, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
