Shower tray repair near Eldroth

Shower tray repair at your home in Eldroth

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Eldroth

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

10 questions to ask before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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.
