Shower tray repair in Brecks without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Brecks

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Brecks

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Brecks and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
