Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Curling Tye Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Curling Tye Green

If you manage property in Curling Tye Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What we are called out for in Curling Tye Green

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. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
