About our shower tray repair in Great Alne

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Alne and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Alne

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Great Alne questions

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are there extra charges for Great Alne?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

What we are called out for in Great Alne

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Alne. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Great Alne get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
