Shower tray repair near Manselfield

Shower tray repair at your home in Manselfield

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

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

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

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

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manselfield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we’re called out for in Manselfield

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
