Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How we handle shower tray repair in Inkerman

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Inkerman?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Inkerman. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
