Trusted shower tray repair in Midton

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

About our shower tray repair in Midton

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. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Midton

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our prices page.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Midton

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
