Shower tray repair in Milnthorpe without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we are called out for in Milnthorpe

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
