How we handle shower tray repair in Calenick

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Calenick get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Calenick: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
