About our shower tray repair in East Cottingwith

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

East Cottingwith: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, East Cottingwith included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
