Shower tray repair for Pipehouse homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Pipehouse

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Pipehouse

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Pipehouse?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pipehouse and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, 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.
