Shower tray repair in Idlicote

Shower tray repair at your home in Idlicote

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole, across stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
