You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Shower tray repair in New Boultham without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in New Boultham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for New Boultham. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

New Boultham: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in New Boultham?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

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 before the end of a tenancy.
