Shower tray repair at your home in Kilncadzow

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and chips on the edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Kilncadzow

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Kilncadzow

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
