Trusted shower tray repair in Grafton

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

About our shower tray repair in Grafton

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Grafton. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grafton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material

Common questions in Grafton

How long before I can shower?

Generally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Grafton?

We do. Technicians travel to Grafton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Grafton included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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 whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
