Shower tray repair for Child's Ercall homes

Shower tray repair in Child's Ercall without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Child's Ercall questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Child's Ercall

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Child's Ercall. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Child's Ercall get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
