Shower tray repair at your home in Castle Carrock

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches, in ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

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

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Castle Carrock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
