How we handle shower tray repair in Ickford

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Ickford

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Ickford

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ickford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Ickford

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
