How we handle shower tray repair in Griston

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a crack across the base, we can help, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Griston

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
