DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair at your home in Meadvale

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 damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Choosing a repair company

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Will the price change on the day?

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, 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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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