How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What we’re called out for in Clovelly

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

What it costs 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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Clovelly questions

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Clovelly is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
