How we handle shower tray repair in Nailwell

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Nailwell

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Nailwell

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Nailwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Nailwell

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
