You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Little Irchester and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlord and trade work in Little Irchester

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little Irchester. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
