Shower tray repair in Calton

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Calton

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Calton

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Calton

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
