Shower tray repair in Emmington without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Emmington

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

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.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Emmington.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Landlord and trade work in Emmington

If you manage property in Emmington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
