How the visit works

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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for 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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Shower tray repair in Carlidnack, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and a tray that flexes.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlidnack as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Carlidnack customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Questions from Carlidnack

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Carlidnack. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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