Shower tray repair near Gilbertstone

Shower tray repair in Gilbertstone without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Gilbertstone

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Common reasons people in Gilbertstone contact us are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Repairing versus replacing in Gilbertstone

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
