Shower tray repair in Calton, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Calton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common questions in Calton

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

For landlords and businesses

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Most customers in Calton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What we are called out for in Calton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
