Shower tray repair in New Trows, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

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

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need shower tray repair in New Trows?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
