Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Poringland questions

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Poringland

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Look out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Poringland. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Poringland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
