Shower tray repair in Firbeck

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re 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.

FAQs for Firbeck

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you need shower tray repair in Firbeck?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Firbeck, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
