Shower tray repair in Easter Skeld without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Easter Skeld: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Easter Skeld

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
