About our shower tray repair in Harrington

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, whatever the material.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you do work for letting agents?

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Harrington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What we’re called out for in Harrington

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
