Trusted shower tray repair in Irby Hill

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start 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.

Shower tray repair in Irby Hill without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Irby Hill. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Irby Hill

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Irby Hill

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Irby Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Irby Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
