Shower tray repair at your home in Ore

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ore

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Ore

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ore?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
