Shower tray repair near Ellesmere

How we handle shower tray repair in Ellesmere

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repairing versus replacing in Ellesmere

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Ellesmere: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you work in Ellesmere?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ellesmere. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Ellesmere?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
