Shower tray repair near Portrush

Repairing versus replacing in Portrush

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Shower tray repair in Portrush, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Portrush. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Portrush

If you manage property in Portrush, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Portrush

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
