Trusted shower tray repair in Escalls

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Shower tray repair in Escalls without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Escalls: your questions answered

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Escalls

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
