Shower tray repair in Plumley

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Shower tray repair in Plumley, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Plumley

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WA16 postcode.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Common problems we fix in Plumley

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

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Plumley

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
