How we handle shower tray repair in Hutton Rudby

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hutton Rudby

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Hutton Rudby?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  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. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
