Shower tray repair in Curbar

Shower tray repair in Curbar, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Curbar

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work 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 care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Curbar questions

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

Will it make a mess?

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

When to call us in Curbar

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work
