Trusted shower tray repair in Illidge Green

Shower tray repair in Illidge Green without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We’re often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Illidge Green

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
