Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Northampton

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Northampton

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Northampton?

We do. We send a technician to Northampton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Northampton

If you manage property in Northampton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
