Book shower tray repair in Minnigaff

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Minnigaff: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you cover Minnigaff?

We do. We send a technician to Minnigaff for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Minnigaff?

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Minnigaff

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Minnigaff. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
