Shower tray repair for Clive homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Clive

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clive as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

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

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our full price list.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Clive: your questions answered

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Do you work in Clive?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clive for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CW7 postcode.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Clive is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
