About our shower tray repair in Orton

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Orton

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do you come to Orton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Orton and the rest of Peterborough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Orton.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Advice

Common problems we fix in Orton

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

Repair or replace in Orton?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
