About our shower tray repair in Elton

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Elton. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures 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:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Elton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Landlord and trade work in Elton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
