Shower tray repair in Great Paxton, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Great Paxton

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Do you need shower tray repair in Great Paxton?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Paxton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Great Paxton customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
