Shower tray repair near Methven

Shower tray repair at your home in Methven

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’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Methven and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Methven

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Methven

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
