About our shower tray repair in Portmore

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Portmore

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Portmore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need shower tray repair in Portmore

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Questions from Portmore

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SO41 postcode.
