Shower tray repair near Nova Scotia

Common problems we fix in Nova Scotia

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

How we handle shower tray repair in Nova Scotia

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, 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, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Nova Scotia

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Nova Scotia. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Nova Scotia questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

Do you work in Nova Scotia?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Nova Scotia from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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 isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
