Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Perkinsville

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Perkinsville

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Perkinsville, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Perkinsville: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Perkinsville is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price
