Shower tray repair near Mannington

Shower tray repair in Mannington, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We’re often asked to fix a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit, across stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Mannington clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mannington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Mannington

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
