Repair or replace in Ceres?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

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 then the old filler has to be removed 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ceres, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Ceres

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ceres?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
