Shower tray repair in North Whilborough, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in North Whilborough and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
