Shower tray repair in Esh Winning, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Esh Winning and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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 it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repairing versus replacing in Esh Winning

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Esh Winning

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Esh Winning

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Esh Winning

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are there extra charges for Esh Winning?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Esh Winning included. Travel is included in the price.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
