Shower tray repair in Nuthall without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, across stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Nuthall and across Nottinghamshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Nuthall questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are there extra charges for Nuthall?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Nuthall?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
