Shower tray repair near Polton

Shower tray repair in Polton without replacing anything

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 enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Polton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Polton

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Polton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, 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 pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

What affects the price in Polton

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Polton. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When to call us in Polton

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
