About our shower tray repair in Evenwood

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Evenwood

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

How long does it take to cure?

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically 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. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Evenwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
