Trusted shower tray repair in North Scale

Shower tray repair in North Scale without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and a crack across the base.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in North Scale

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in North Scale

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for North Scale. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
