Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Illshaw Heath

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Illshaw Heath. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Illshaw Heath questions

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you come to Illshaw Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Illshaw Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
