DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Shower tray repair at your home in Mossy Lea

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts 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 happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day 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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What affects the price in Mossy Lea

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Mossy Lea

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
