What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Eppleby

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Eppleby?

We do. Technicians travel to Eppleby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Eppleby?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DL11 postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Are there extra charges for Eppleby?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Eppleby

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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