Shower tray repair in Mitchell, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and damage from a refit or building work.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mitchell. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mitchell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Mitchell

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
