Shower tray repair in Humber, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and chips on the edges, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Common problems we fix in Humber

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Humber, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
