Shower tray repair at your home in Elemore Vale

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. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Elemore Vale. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Elemore Vale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elemore Vale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Do you come to Elemore Vale?

We do. Technicians travel to Elemore Vale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
