Shower tray repair in Mickley Green

Shower tray repair at your home in Mickley Green

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Mickley Green

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Mickley Green

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
