Trusted shower tray repair in Horsehay

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Shower tray repair in Horsehay, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TF4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Horsehay questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

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.
