Shower tray repair in Broomhall

Shower tray repair in Broomhall, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s damage around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Broomhall as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Common problems we fix in Broomhall

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

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

Broomhall questions

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
