About our shower tray repair in Glemsford

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste.

Around Glemsford, showers are often in bungalows and houses, including walk-in showers. A cracked or worn tray can be repaired without lifting it.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Glemsford

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. For a home around Glemsford where the shower tray is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. For a home in Glemsford, we normally park close by and start right away.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
