Shower tray repair near Cults

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Shower tray repair at your home in Cults

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

When we visit, 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cults

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When to call us in Cults

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
