Shower tray repair in Greendykes, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What affects the price in Greendykes

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Greendykes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Greendykes

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Repair or replace in Greendykes?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts 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’ll get a fixed figure.
