Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

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

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little Altcar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

For a price in Little Altcar, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
