Shower tray repair in Bransholme without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

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 usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bransholme as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Bransholme

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Bransholme?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common problems we fix in Bransholme

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

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