Shower tray repair for Henlade homes

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Shower tray repair in Henlade without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Henlade as everywhere else we work.

Henlade questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Henlade. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Henlade

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Henlade, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What we are called out for in Henlade

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
