Shower tray repair for Clifton homes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Shower tray repair in Clifton, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Clifton?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Clifton

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Clifton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
