Your questions about shower tray repair in Eyhorne Street

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Eyhorne Street?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

About our shower tray repair in Eyhorne Street

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Common problems we fix in Eyhorne Street

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Eyhorne Street

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Eyhorne Street and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eyhorne Street

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
