Shower tray repair in Eggington, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Do I need to be at home?

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What affects the price in Eggington

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Eggington

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
