Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in Carrington

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carrington. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Carrington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

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

Carrington questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

When to call us in Carrington

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
