Shower tray repair near East Cowton

What we’re called out for in East Cowton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Common reasons people in East Cowton contact us include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Shower tray repair in East Cowton, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to East Cowton. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in East Cowton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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