Need shower tray repair in Copston Magna?

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Shower tray repair in Copston Magna without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Copston Magna: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Copston Magna

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
