Trusted shower tray repair in Newchapel

Shower tray repair in Newchapel 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 will tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims, across stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What happens if you find more damage?

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Newchapel

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
