How we handle shower tray repair in Calder Grove

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

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

Common problems we fix in Calder Grove

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

Look out for these signs:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
