When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we’re called out for in Cross Lane

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

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