When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Medomsley Edge

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you need shower tray repair in Medomsley Edge?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. 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 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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Medomsley Edge get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
