Shower tray repair near Pincock

Shower tray repair in Pincock without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to compare quotes

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pincock questions

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
