Shower tray repair in Low Mill, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Common problems we fix in Low Mill

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Questions from Low Mill

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Low Mill.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
