About our shower tray repair in Donnington

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Donnington

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Donnington

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Donnington. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when 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. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You do not 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.

Advice

Donnington: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
