Shower tray repair in Colney Street, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for 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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Colney Street

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Colney Street

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Questions from Colney Street

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover Colney Street?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Colney Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
