Shower tray repair in Gorefield

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair in Gorefield, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

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

Repairing versus replacing in Gorefield

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re 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. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Gorefield

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gorefield. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Gorefield, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we are called out for in Gorefield

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
