Shower tray repair for Edgehead homes

Shower tray repair in Edgehead without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and chips caused during fitting.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Edgehead: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Edgehead?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Edgehead

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Edgehead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Enamelled steel

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
