Shower tray repair near Ipstones

Shower tray repair in Ipstones without replacing anything

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 crack does not come back. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Ipstones, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ipstones?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ipstones. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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

Common questions in Ipstones

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Ipstones and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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