When can I use the shower again?

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings

Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Chilton Lane
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
