Shower tray repair for Clivocast homes

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Shower tray repair in Clivocast without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

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

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Clivocast

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

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

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.

Enamelled steel

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Clivocast

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
