Shower tray repair in Elsted without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Elsted

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Elsted?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Elsted from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts 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.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we work on in Elsted

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Elsted. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
