Shower tray repair in Clifton without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
