How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Broughton in Furness. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Broughton in Furness?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Broughton in Furness questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Do you come to Broughton in Furness?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Broughton in Furness from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
