Shower tray repair in Out Elmstead, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Out Elmstead. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
