Shower tray repair in Craven Arms

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

About our shower tray repair in Craven Arms

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is generally 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
