How we handle shower tray repair in North Buckland

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to compare quotes

North Buckland questions

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: 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 no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
