Shower tray repair near Fingal Street

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair at your home in Fingal Street

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Fingal Street

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Fingal Street, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
