When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Shower tray repair in Minard without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and staining and dullness across the tray, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Minard

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Minard: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Minard included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What we’re called out for in Minard

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What affects the price in Minard

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Minard and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
