Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we handle shower tray repair in Cartland

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Cartland

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cartland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Questions from Cartland

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you come to Cartland?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cartland for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Does someone need to be in?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Cartland and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cartland as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cartland

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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