Shower tray repair in Plumbley

How we handle shower tray repair in Plumbley

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Plumbley

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Plumbley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Plumbley?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
