How we handle shower tray repair in Carlton

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before you book

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Carlton

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Carlton

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work in Carlton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Carlton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Repair or replace in Carlton?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Carlton

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Carlton. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carlton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
