Shower tray repair near Plenmeller

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

About our shower tray repair in Plenmeller

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. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Plenmeller

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Plenmeller: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Plenmeller included. There is no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
