Shower tray repair for Broadfield homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Broadfield

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we’re called out for in Broadfield

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Broadfield questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.
