About our shower tray repair in Bullockstone

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Bullockstone customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bullockstone, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
