The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Grove Park

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Grove Park: your questions answered

Do you cover Grove Park?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Grove Park from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
