Shower tray repair in Helsey

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Shower tray repair in Helsey, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Repair or replace in Helsey?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 will get a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Helsey questions

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you come to Helsey?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Helsey. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price
