Shower tray repair near Plaish

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically 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

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Shower tray repair in Plaish without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Plaish

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Plaish?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

We cover the entire UK, including Plaish and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Plaish?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
