About our shower tray repair in Ellwood

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and a crack across the base.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works

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

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Most customers in Ellwood get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Ellwood

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

FAQs for Ellwood

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ellwood?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
