Shower tray repair in Hurlston Green, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in Hurlston Green

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
