About our shower tray repair in Brough

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brough. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

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

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are 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.

FAQs for Brough
